Tests and Error Messages This chapter describes the MaxiLife ﬁrmware test sequences and error messages, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines, which are contained in the computer’s ROM BIOS, the error messages which can result, and the suggestions for corrective action.

• POST phase. • Operating System boot phase. Note that the messages in this section make reference to the “HP Kayak Workstation.” For an explanation of this, see the section “Special Notice for Users” in the Preface of this document.
Page 111 The ﬁrst detected error displays a message on the LCD status panel. If this happens, one of the following screens could appear. Presence of CPUs or Terminators in the Processor Missing or incorrectly installed CPU or Termina- Control of the CPU Board CPU Board is not connected, or the system board needs replacing.
Page 112 Tests and Error Messages MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages The following table shows the test sequence carried out, the type of error message, and the action to take. Table 5-1. Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics Test Presence of a processor in the BOOT PROC [1] processor slot.
Page 113: Post Test Sequence And Post Error Codes
Table 5-1. Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics Test Compatibility of DIMMs. The BIOS checks that the inserted DIMMs are both compatible with one another, and compatible with the Front Side Bus frequency. Availability of video controller. It is checked by the BIOS. If an error is detected, it is not a fatal one and the BIOS will continue its execution normally.
Page 114 If the screen is working, you can obtain the meaning of the error by typing “Enter” at the end of the POST. Or, you can check the list of errors available on the HP World-Wide Web support page: http://www.hp.com/go/visualizesupport There is a time-out of 3 sec-...

“Fan disk” (run-time error 2) will be displayed. Table 5-3. Run-Time Errors Test During normal usage of the Personal Workstation, HP MaxiLife continually checks vital system parameters. If an error should occur, a message would be automatically displayed on the LCD panel.
Page 116 System Info Obtains information from the BIOS and the system’s Serial EEPROM from a previously successful boot. This information includes: product name (HP V serial number, number of processors and speed, size of memory for each DIMM socket. The following diagram shows how the System Info obtains its information.

Results of the tests are displayed on the LCD status panel, one after another when the LCD buttons are pressed. For MaxiLife to access the status of some of the components, the power supply has to be in the ON state.

Tests and Error Messages Error Message Summary Error Message Summary The Error Message Utility or EMU (.COM application written in C language) is to provide full screen online help messages (localized) on most common POST errors. When an error is generated in POST during the boot process, EMU is run by typing ENTER. The entry point of each EMU message is a 4-digits error code generated by POST.
